Blogger Template Info

Business Blue is a clean three column new Blogger template with a simple, yet soothing blue and white header image. Blue is dominant color throughout this design and it’s widget ready so you can customize it however you like.

The top tabs are setup to be easily configurable within your page layout window. Just edit the “top tabs” widget and add all the tabs you want. The “Home” tab and rss feed icon will automatically appear once you add and save your first tab.

This template also has the cool FEEDJIT widget pre-installed so you’ll be able to tell real-time who and what country your visitors came from.

There’s plenty of space for banner or button ads so it can easily be used for a make money blog. This template was submitted by “Oz” and it’s a nice one.

Revision History

3/31/08 – We’ve updated this template to include a search box, the FEEDJIT widget, dynamic tabs, and fixed the blog description so it shows up now. A new demo site has also been setup so you can get a real feel as to how this template actually works.

Pete, did you try adding the tabs via your blogger page layout editor? There should be a widget called “top tabs” if I remember correctly which is a link list. Then add new tabs and they should appear automatically.

As far as removing the title and description from your header, you’ll need to edit the code. Make sure you create a backup of this template before making any changes so you can easily go back if needed. In your html edit mode, check the “expand widget elements” checkbox before you copy or edit the code. This will show the entire template code.

Next, search for <data:title/> and for <data:description/> which are the tags that display the title and description in your header. You should remove them and then save it. That should do the trick. Again, make sure you back everything up in case you make a mistake. I’d hate for you to lose any work you’ve put into your widgets.

I have already done as suggested as far as the top tabs goes – i went into the widget in the page elements portion and tried adding links to the “top tabs” widget. Nothing happened, and it didn’t appear on the page still.

I’ll have to try out the second part of your solution, i’ll report back tomorrow if it works. thanks!

Glad the title & description removal worked for you. It might be easier if you try and download the template again and just compare the code with your existing template. Then copy over the missing top tabs widget section and that should do it. I should have thought of that before.

The top tabs section seems to be intact as far as i can tell when comparing.. I’m a bit baffled. also, its a bit strange, but in IE only, the top graphic doesn’t look quite right on the homepage. In firefox and others it looks fine. Any ideas why that might be? when you go to the post details page, it looks fine..

1) How can I have in this wonderful template, two different colours as background/coloured boxes for comments – one for visitors and the other for myself just to set the responses apart? You have a similar system here – the yellow and grey background for comments.

2) Is it possible to number the comments so that in a conversation it is easy to refer/quote an earlier comment by its number?

3)What should I do to add a line under the topic title?

I hope the questions are not out of scope. I can learn with guidance and my CSS knowledge is self-taught.

I think this is the template I need for my purpose (a sports blog primarily featuring historical reviews/research), but I’d like to tweak a few things first like the three points above.

Thank you and what a wonderfully helpful site this is! 🙂

Why the date of our post cannot show up?

Looking into the codes, it should be a date appeared on a black square image, right side of the post-title. That code is [ .date { … } ]

Honestly, I like that theme so much.. clean & elegant, but just being annoyed – gotta type the post-date manually as my first paragraph. I think even the simplest or the worst template i tried before, the post date should be there automatically.

Please answer, or post an updated version for this template. Will ya? Thanks.

Love this theme.
Is there any way to easily embed a Google Custom Search box into the header at the top right?

Also wondering if there is an easy way to make the header “clickable” so that when you click anywhere on the header image, it directs you to the home page of the site.

Great updated is done here for header image and also for template for very effective and good looking. 🙂
Thank You!!! 😀

Hi,
I love this template.however, the post title font size is a little small than i expected.I don’t want any other template because i love this one very much.
Please tell me how i can INCREASE THE POST TITLE FONT SIZE and change the color.
Thanks in advance

Many people are having a problem uploading templates because of changes that Blogger has made. For instance Blogger now requires all widget ids to match the widget type. This causes problems with third party templates and widget names.
